The Franks

The last phase of the Western Roman Empire, the period of transition
between Romanity and the rise of a new medieval world, is marked by
successive incursions of Barbarians from the north. In particular, there were
the Goths (Visigoths and Ostrogoths), Alans, Suebi, Vandals, Huns, and the
Franks. Dominating present-day northern France, Belgium, and western
Germany, one of these groups, the Franks, established the most powerful
Christian kingdom of early medieval western Europe.

Franks. Only one of these, however, was able to establish a great and
prosperous kingdom after the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
